A Semi-staged Public ReadingBy Mary DriscollDirected by Jacqui Parker

Fort Point Theatre Channel hosted the first semi-staged reading of The Hidden Faces of Courage, a theatre piece from the Generational Legacy Project of the nonprofit On With Living and Learning, Inc.—OWLL.

The Hidden Faces of Courage came about by
working with women worthy to be honored. The play centers around the
life of one formally incarcerated woman, her friends, and her son. Their
stories symbolize the lives of innumerable woman and children of
similar circumstances.
That is to say, they become a product of poverty, violence, drug use,
and prison. It is their legacy of courage they hope to pass on.

Combining monologues, rap, spirituals, and dance, The Hidden Faces of Courage was presented by the women of OWLL and professional actors from Our Place Theatre Project and Fort Point Theatre Channel.

OWLL, led by FPTC member Mary Driscoll, uses theatre as a medium for
public dialogue to promote economic opportunity and active engagement
for all members of a community.
